I am not sure how much they are selling for, I am not even sure any of the couriers (Cigualar, Tmobile, Sprint) even have them on their radar to start selling them. I was one of the lucky ones at a Microsoft PDC and bought mine for $150. I can tell you after I broke my lcd I worked with IMATE for a repair and they wanted $200 for a new LCD, but they could not tell me what the labor charge would be and I would have to pay for shipping to and from United Arab Emerates which from the TNT shipping company looked to be $80 each way. So I saw $200 + Labor charge $50 to $100 + 80 + 80 = $410 or $460 and did not feel the device was worth that.

I did put in a "Want it now" search in EBay and everyone wanted $200 or more just for the LCD panel

My thought was I was having a heck of a time 3 weeks to even find anyone who would sell a LCD or fix the device themselves. I tried many places in UK and Canada with no luck. This place was in USA (so i could bug them easier on what was happen) and seems to have a good reputation on the web.

Hi all,

Sorry to have to post again I have been having great difficulty getting good pictures with the front camera, the weird thing is that when taking the picture it seems a little grainy as you would expect from a 2mp but after the photo has been taken they then change and look really fake looking like I'm made of play dough. I've tried turning all the extras off and it's still happening, help?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craigyy:
Bit of an update, my friend advised me to try getting snapchat as that capture the image straight away and it doesn't go through any processing and yes it's true the pictures taken using this are better.

Is there any camera app that doesnt do the processing as this is what seems to be ruining my pictures. I have tried the stock app, instagram and also pixlr.

Thanks for making this haha, I don't have enough posts to comment in Dev forums and have been wanting to ask/comment about issues so far, thankfull most of them have been asked by others by now.

But, if anyone happens to know, is there an issue with ART and Gmail, I tried the working gapps, and most things seemed to work, but a few apps, including gmail were non-functional.

You're right!

I wonder how much time it'll take for it to leave alpha state! I'm not asking for ETA, just wondering.

And the ROM is really good. I mean I took photos, made phone calls, did some texting with Hangout, configured and tested almost every essential apps I use on regular basis and I did not encounter a single major issue.

Did not test Bluetooth and tethering. LTE not working but I'm pretty sure someone will fix it!

Missing some customization options which will come when it will be more "mature" and every builders will begin adding their touch! :D

Thanks to everyone making this possible!! \m/ :good: ;)

Im having problems receiving calls and making calls. Most of the time when I'm making a call it doesn't ring through the earpiece and once its answered they cannot hear me and I cannot hear them either. Then when I have an incoming call the same issue occurs they cannont hear me and I cannot hear them.

Thanks I have read that. I was wondering if there is any TWRP version that supports this because I'm lazy and don't want to flash TWRP again after testing this out. I'm pretty sure there's a version that should support it. Just don't know which one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jchef:
In these early stages I wouldn't use twrp. Just keep a zip from cwm and twrp on your phone. This makes for easy reverting back and forth. I do it all the time depending on what rom I am trying. Doesn't take long at all to change recoveries.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jd1639:
This is what I do to. But I'm not as familiar with cwm and the first time I flashed l forgot the wipe. Dirty flashed over cm 10.2 and it worked surprisingly well. Not as well as a clean flash mind you.

Yeah, I'm just in super lazy mood. I'd rather hold it a bit longer than walk 5 meters to the bathrom. :silly:

EDIT: Alright I've done a quick test run and am now back on CM10.1.3.

Some first superficial impressions:

I was missing the swipe left to search as inspired by iPhone* and seen on nexus 5. I like the new statusbar with it's transparancy and iPhone style whiteness. I like the new camera icon but I miss the dialer icon as seen on nexus 5. I like the new iPhone inspired dialer but I really hate having to click one extra time to bring out the actual dialer. Believe it or not but I actually dial numbers several times a day. Also like the iPhone style color on the end call button. Didn't test the hangouts sms function but it seems really nice. I miss the screensaver / daydreams, I always have it on when charging. Love the new launcher (and didn't get why there's two launchers that look exactly the same). Good speed and animation quality. All in all 3/5 for this preview hope it goes well, next time I'll be testing this is when there's an RC/stable as I've gotten over the flashomania.. :P Now I'm just waiting for a CM10.2 RC.

What recovery are you using to flash 4.3? For some reason, when I tried to use TWRP to flash a 4.3 ROM (Carbon), TiB would load half of my apps and then tell me I didn't have enough room.. I tried this twice and it happened both times. After I flashed with the most recent version of CWM, everything worked. I don't know why, but the recovery does unfortunately make a difference..

I definitely prefer TWRP but I've kept CWM as my recovery since that happened.. it just doesn't seem to play nice with 4.3 in general. :-/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] epapsiou:
Check 'use rm -rf option' in settings in TWRP and the tibu error will go away. This is known issue. Also install super su for tibu.

Hangout notification doesn't clear if...

If I get a new text message, I get a notification (Hangout since I decided to manage my text messages within Hangout).

If I directly open Hangout and read the message instead of pulling the drawer and selecting the notification, the notification does not go away. If I pull the drawer and tap on the notification, it opens Hangout and the notification goes away.

Not a big deal but I suppose it's not the expected behavior :silly:

Anyone else?

2 Step Verification

Quick question, does anyone else have 2 step verification setup that has installed/tried to install CM11?

It prompts that it is sending a text, but the texts don't come through until you enter a valid code. Thankfully, I have backup codes saved on my computer. Is this an issue for anyone else? It also will not call you with the code. Perhaps the SMS/Phone services are not running at that time?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rpr69:
It's possible. I have an app on my Pebble that generates codes, and it's worked every time I've used it (10.2, 11), so it appears to be SMS specific.

CM11 radio upgrade/revert

Many thanks to the devs for bringing us CM11!

I am getting ready to upgrade to CM11 alpha2 and reading as much as I can. Updated the recovery to 6037, which went smoothly. The next step is upgrading the radio. The question I have is if I decide to go back from CM11 to CM10, do I need to revert the radio? Could someone post a link to the the CM10 compatible radio?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] onealvideo:
The TC website is your best bet for that since it is what works with our ROM. I believe the same radio is currently used for CM 10.x and CM 11. UCMC is what I use for AT&T. If your carrier is different it will probably differ from mine.
